Q4 2015

LADYDRINKS PRIVATE TOUR OF THE ISLAMIC ART COLLECTION AT THE MET

SEPT 25th 6-8 PM

METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART,

1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028

15 Elite women are hand picked from the LadyDrinks membership to join in this walk, led by a docent. We will engage in a private tour and talk about the Islamic Art in the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Drinks on the rooftop of the Met afterwards, weather permitting. If raining, we head to the Mezzanine level for cocktails.

The Museum’s collection of Islamic art ranges in date from the seventh to the nineteenth century. Its nearly twelve thousand objects reflect the great diversity and range of the cultural traditions of Islam, with works from as far westward as Spain and Morocco and as far eastward as Central Asia and India. Comprising sacred and secular objects, the collection reveals the mutual influence of artistic practices such as calligraphy, and the exchange of motifs such as vegetal ornament (the arabesque) and geometric patterning in both realms.

Although the Museum acquired some seals and jewelry from Islamic countries as early as 1874, and a number of Turkish textiles in 1879, it received its first major group of Islamic objects in 1891, as a bequest of Edward C. Moore. Since then, the collection has grown through gifts, bequests, and purchases, as well as through Museum-sponsored excavations at Nishapur, Iran, in 1935–39 and in 1947.

What messages are you transmitting with your body language when you first enter the room? Once you open your mouth, are you making content driven conversation?
